Manager's Message
“Fisherman’s Paradise” is an overused term, but it really does apply to Econfina
River State Park. Our boat ramp provides easy access to the Gulf of Mexico.
Up-river freshwater fishing is excellent, too. We have two, one room
accommodations, fitted out with small refrigerators and microwaves. They are
simple and Spartan but, because we operate them, clean and efficient. They can
be reserved by calling Bonnie, at 850-584-3026. For a unique bit of “Old
Florida”, plan a trip to Econfina River State Park.
- Barry Burch, Park Manager
Welcome to Econfina River State Park
Nestled along the northern Gulf Coast, this park protects a mosaic of diverse
landscapes. The Econfina River meanders like a dark ribbon through pine
flatwoods, oaks and palm forests to broad expanses of salt marsh dotted with
pine islands. Nature lovers can explore the scenic beauty by foot, bicycle, or
horseback on nine miles of wooded trails-or drift along the river in a kayak,
canoe, or boat. Trails lead to a panoramic view of coastal Florida where lush
islands, sand dunes left from a bygone era, dot the horizon. The Econfina River
empties into the Gulf of Mexico 2.2 miles south of the park's boat ramp. Picnic
facilities are near the boat ramp. Equestrians must register with the park
office prior to using a trail. Located in Taylor County at the end of State Road
14, south of U.S. 98.
Contact the Florida Park Service Information Center for general inquiries.
